After sending Wang Yongji away, Yu Xiaotian ordered to sail and anchor again, and went down the Minjiang estuary, meeting the fleet he had left at the Minjiang estuary, and began to return to Weitou Bay.

After returning to Weitouwan, Yu Xiaotian ordered the soldiers who went out to participate in the war to take a collective vacation for 20 days, so that they could return home and reunite with their families, and the ashes of the fallen soldiers who went north this time were also sent home or directly sent to the cemetery of the Yu family army for placement.

It all depends on the opinions of their respective families, those who want to bury them in the ancestral grave at home can be placed by themselves, Yu Xiaotian specially allocated ten taels of burial expenses to each fallen soldier, which is not included in the pension, but most of the soldiers and generals of the Yu family are people who have left their hometowns, and the ancestral grave must not go back, so they were collectively buried in the cemetery selected by the Yu family army for worship.

In fact, the overall casualties of Yu's army in the north this time were not very large, and they were definitely not as many as he reported to the imperial court and the government, and the total number of casualties was only less than 1,000, among which the lightly injured were treated by military medical officers, and many of them had recovered and returned to the team, and those who were seriously injured and disabled were less than 100 people, and they had already sent ships to escort them back to Taiwan Island in advance, and they were properly resettled in various places and continued to be treated.

On the whole, the number of dead soldiers is actually less than 400 people, mainly caused in the siege of Dengzhou City, the siege is not as good as ordinary field warfare, even if the attacker has strong firepower, but after all, there is no geographical advantage, from the bottom to the top of the attack, the casualties will certainly not be too small.

The regulations of the imperial court for these fallen soldiers are that each person will be given a bereavement pension of 30 taels of silver, but the families of the vast majority of fallen soldiers will not see these silver at all, even if they are allocated by the government, they have already been stuck by the people who have passed by them along the way.

But Yu Xiaotian gave each fallen soldier fifty taels of silver, which was real, directly to their families, if they were buried by themselves, they would give another ten taels, and no one would dare to reach out and ask for a card in the middle, if they were caught by Yu Xiaotian, the chopping hands would be the lightest, and they would definitely be thrown directly into the hard labor camp, working to death, and even might be sentenced to Ling Chi.

In addition to these cash pensions, if the fallen soldiers have children, the children will receive special preferential treatment, be recruited to the school, food and clothing are all due to Xiaotian, the family has parents and the elderly, in their lifetime, Yu Xiaotian will also give a subsidy of two stones of rice every year, and the elderly who have lost their labor force will be given more subsidies.

Therefore, the generals of the Yu family's army, in terms of the treatment they enjoy, in the Ming Dynasty, although on paper, they dare not say that they are the highest, but in fact, as long as the rules are set, they can basically be implemented, and there is no need to worry about the future, so when the soldiers of the Yu family army go into battle, they will not be afraid of death.

According to their words, the Lord has thought of everything that should be thought of for them, they have nothing to worry about, even if they are dead and disabled, they have someone to take care of their families, so on the battlefield, there are almost no deserters in the Yu family army, and the morale is quite high.

In the past, Yu Xiaotian had to personally inquire about these trivial matters, but now that the system has been formed, someone will handle it according to the system, and there is no need for Yu Xiaotian to worry about anything anymore, just send someone to make an unannounced visit afterwards to verify the implementation of various bereavement benefits.

So after he returned to Weitouwan, he also stayed with his family for a few days, and then dealt with some things that needed his personal approval, and this period of time was good.

But Zou Weilian's life during this time was really unsatisfactory, and after the quarrel with Yu Xiaotian that day, Zou Weilian fell into infinite fear, for fear that Yu Xiaotian would be angry and dare to lead his troops to rebel, in that case, he would be unlucky.

Yu Xiaotian has just made great contributions in Denglai, and as soon as he returned to Fujian, he immediately rebelled, and those officials in the court, as well as the emperor, will definitely think, why is Yu Xiaotian, a fierce general, still doing his best for the court in Denglai, why did he rebel as soon as he arrived in Fujian?

Then when he inquired, he cut off other people's salaries, and did not give people a pension, and even asked people to arrest Yu Xiaotian, even if he justified that Yu Xiaotian roared in court and was disrespectful to the superiors, he ordered Yu Xiaotian to be arrested, but after all, this is also for a reason, because this forced a tiger general of the Ming Dynasty, then the court will definitely not spare him.

Now the Ming Dynasty is full of places where soldiers are used, and seeing these generals, they have begun to have a posture that cannot be dropped, as a high-ranking official, Zou Weilian can of course see that the imperial court has a lot of heavy generals who hold military power, and they dare not move them lightly, but they are not merciful when they kill Wenchen.

So this time he and Yu Xiaotian fell out, if Yu Xiaotian was forced to rebel, then his head is estimated to say goodbye to his neck soon, and it is certain that the Beijing division will send Tiqi to Fuzhou to arrest him and send him to Beijing for questioning, and then it will be time for the head to fall to the ground.

Therefore, Zou Weilian has been worried these days, Wang Yongji caught up with Yu Xiaotian, and brought back Yu Xiaotian's words, which also made Zou Weilian quite nervous, because this should be an ultimatum given to him by Yu Xiaotian, give him a month, if he does not solve the shortage of military salaries and put the pension in place, then it is estimated that the salary will be the lightest thing next.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is everywhere pressing the gourd to float the scoop, the imperial court is financially tight, and the officials and soldiers in various places often have a shortage of salaries, coupled with the fact that the generals and officials are greedy for ink and deduct military salaries, and the life of being a soldier is very hard, and even the situation of starving to death occurs from time to time.

Therefore, under the unauthorized action of some well-intentioned people, there are often situations of troubles in various places, military generals hold military power, and the imperial court does not dare to move them lightly, often after the bullet is pressed, a few unlucky people are caught and killed in the black pot, and this kind of thing will not be over, but the civil servants who cause the troubles are dismissed from their posts at the lightest, and those who are strict may even be arrested and sent to Beijing, and they will be exiled for thousands of miles at the lightest, and they will be beheaded and abandoned at the worst.

Even if Yu Xiaotian didn't rebel this time, but only secretly encouraged the officers and soldiers under his command stationed in various places to make trouble, he still couldn't eat and walk, so Zou Weilian was scared now, and hurriedly called people to raise money everywhere.

In the past month, Zou Weilian has been busy with all fours facing the sky, and as soon as he opens his eyes every day, he sends people to inquire about the situation of salaries in various places and the amount of silver in the treasury of the domain.

After a month, Zou Weilian was going crazy, tossing everywhere, and finally made up for part of the shortage, and raised another 50,000 taels of pension silver, which was distributed to Yu Xiaotian.

Although there is still a shortage of the number required by Yu Xiaotian, Zou Weilian can be regarded as doing his best, squeezing out all the money that can be squeezed out, if he wants more, it is basically impossible.

After Yu Xiaotian got the silver, he pretended to give Zou Weilian a review of his mistakes, which was regarded as a small apology for his disrespect to Zou Weilian in the Fuzhou Governor's Yamen that day, and it was not salty or indifferent to erase this matter.

But this incident also caused a huge rift between Zou Weilian and Yu Xiaotian, the relationship between the two sides was basically in an irreconcilable state, Yu Xiaotian was too lazy to see Zou Weilian, Zou Weilian also avoided Xiaotian, and the two sides tried not to find anyone, which made Yu Xiaotian very comfortable, and rested in Weitouwan for the Spring Festival.

But he couldn't stop, and after he came back, he took the time to go to Kaohsiung for an inspection, and then went to Haitan Island to see the situation in the refugee quarantine camp on Haitan Island.

Over the past year or so, the immigrants who have been collected from the north have basically to undergo a period of quarantine in a newly built quarantine camp on Haitan Island before they can be assigned to various parts of Taiwan Island.

This can prevent some immigrants with infectious diseases from bringing infectious diseases to the island of Taiwan, causing large-scale epidemics.

With the arrival of a large number of immigrants, these people must at least have a place to live, and even if they are resettled in collective farms, they must at least have dormitories.

At first, they built houses for small families with single-family vacations, but such houses could only accommodate a small number of people and could not cope with the large number of immigrants.

Later, Yu Xiaotian ordered the construction of a large house similar to the barracks structure, which could save a lot of manpower and material resources, and also resettle a large number of immigrants.

These dormitories, which resemble a barracks structure, are built into a square rectangular house, with ten rooms in one room, each dormitory can fit five bunk beds, ten people can live in one row, and one row of rooms can accommodate a hundred people, and at the end of each row of houses, there is also a public toilet, which is managed by a special person, and there is also a washroom for these people to wash.

Although this has affected the normal life of some families, it can only be used temporarily in order to arrange a large number of immigrants.

However, the immigrants do not have a big opinion on this, now they have a full meal is a bigger thing than the day, although the accommodation seems a little nervous, but after all, there is a bed for them to sleep, and there are straw mats and straw mats on the bed, and everyone is also given a piece of cotton cloth, as a quilt, fortunately, most of the winter on the island of Taiwan is not very cold, although it will not be very comfortable to sleep, but it is not freezing to death.

After all, cotton is too tight now, so it can only be used by the army first, and ordinary immigrants who want to cover the quilt have to rely on their own efforts.

Most of these newcomers have signed a deed of sale, so they have no personal freedom, and they have to accept unified management, and each dormitory has a dormitory director appointed to manage the dormitory personnel and health discipline.

These immigrants usually adopt semi-military management, and have developed a fairly strict work and rest system and sanitation system, and when these new immigrants used to be at home, few of them had any awareness of hygiene, and many of them did not take a bath for a long time, and they did not take a regular spot when they pooped and peed, and they defecated everywhere.

But fortunately, before they came to the collective farm on Taiwan Island, when they were at the shelter in Shandong and the quarantine camp on Haitan Island, these bad habits had already been corrected, and after arriving here, no one dared to defecate everywhere, and they all knew that they had to go to the public toilet to deal with the problem.

This provided a good raw material for the accumulation of fertilizer, and the amount of farm manure produced by these immigrants each year was considerable on the collective farms.

In order to reduce the occurrence of infectious diseases, although these houses are not luxurious enough to install glass, but the sea wolf still purchased a lot of roving in large quantities everywhere on land, nailed to the windows, and hung bamboo curtains on the dormitory door to prevent mosquitoes from entering the room, although the effect is average, but after the immigrants return to the house, in the house, there will be some wormwood or artemisia grass to repel mosquitoes, and the health management of the collective farm is relatively in place, in recent years, there has been no large-scale malaria infection.
